Skansen Kronan ("the Crown Sconce") is a redoubt on the hill Risåsberget, in the Haga district of Gothenburg, Sweden.Ask Inspirock to suggest an itinerary and make planning a trip to Gothenburg fast, fun, and easy.
The fortress and its twin, Skansen Lejonet, were built to protect the city of Gothenburg against possible Danish attack, and thus had a similar purpose to the sea fort of New Älvsborg, which was built around the same time.

I enjoyed the panorama, but didn't det inside. There is a park around yet with few benches. The restaurant was fully reserved, so I guess it's a popular place.

Best place if you want to enjoy the beautiful view of Gothenburg city, after climbing the hill. castle is open for visitors and there is no entrance fee. . Apparently, they consider turning inside of the castle to a restaurant bar which seemed nice. But it was not opened when I had been there ! There are cannons and cannon balls inside.

Fantastic place to spend time. You will get the best view of the city. A must visit place, specially when the sun is shining.
